VMC Machines an Assortment of Parts
Okuma's Genos M560-V vertical machining center combines
a high column design and CAT 40 Big-Plus spindle to cut
large, complex parts. The larger work envelope minimizes
restrictions on workpieces, tool lengths and the rotary table,
the company says.
A rigid, thermally-stable, double-column construction
enables the withstanding of thermal deformation. A 30-hp
spindle with 146 foot-pounds of torque allows it to cut met-
als such as titanium and Inconel as well as stainless steel and
aluminum. According to the company, a separate automatic
toolchanger door makes tool changing seamless without
interrupting the machining process.
The table moves only in Y, while the spindle moves in X and
Z, enabling a smaller machine footprint, rapid feed rates, precise
cutting and smooth surface finishes, the company says.

Lathe Cuts Parts
with Three Cutting Tools
Tsugami/Rem Sales' BW129Z is a 12-mm, nine-axis, split-slide
lathe with a simultaneous three-path control system and dual
independent gang slides. This machine can house 28 tools and is
equipped with a FANUC 31i-B CNC.
The nine-axis machine has three cutting tools, all cutting the
part simultaneously, the company says. All three tools have inde-
pendent feed rates, meaning shorter cycle times, allowing opera-
tors to produce more parts faster. This allows the BW129Z to do
pinch turning and pinch milling jobs.

SPTM & TMLR Thread Mills
Scientific Cutting Tools
Single Profile Thread Mills (SPTM) cut internal and
external threads in a range of thread sizes with minimum
side cutting pressure
Long Reach Thread Mills (TMLR) have three teeth and
a helical flute that excel in internal deep threads as well
as hard-to-cut materials
